trailer looks stupid, not gonna watch it

but if you want to have the same aesthetic
plenty of islands like that in Polynesia, Indonesia, maybe Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, Philippines etc.

if you want to have the same romance and adventure part
the selection is a bit smaller
Bali or Croatia would be my first choice
Madeira for more "adventure", Balearic Islands for more people aka "romance"

that is, if you go alone
you need a place where many young people go to party / adventure

if you have friends, you can just take them anywhere you want
and the longer list works

I watched this movie and it brought tears to my eyes. If you’re a Thai coomer you would understand. Perfectly encapsulates when I first went to Thailand for a long period of time

Book is better. Movie is decent though.
But like >>2790031 said, the story is about how you can’t have that experience.

I was in Thailand just two months ago and I went on a cruise to the place where they filmed The Beach and in that area, in that country, with those people and the kindof people that visit Thailand I truly believe something like this is 100% plausible and could happen. I listened to the soundtrack the whole time whilst cruising the islands and sipping Kratom. Some of us like football, some of us like Nintendo but we all like adventure and aim to break away from society. Just adding to the realism, foreigners end up dead in Thailand all the time as well...The Beach itself and the areas around it was just so majestic.

When I was swimming in those waters, seeing the marine life, seeing the kindof people that were around I truly believed anything was possible.

Unfortunately people are socially retarded these days and I am part of that problem so I didn't make too many good friends in Thailand

Film also brings back great memories as there was a period of time where the Internet was just a our little thing, where people didn't like it, or use it, didn't think it would be a thing but the cool people were already managing their life from ICQ & MSN back in the day

It's a slow board man, post it again. I come here 3-4 times every 6 months, more when I am on a trip but like um it's always been a slow board, people probably just don't see it, the end side of the film is meh imo Lord of the Flies meets insanity? The book as always is better, side character development is essential, football and Nintendo is life and that's still true

You can’t.
As others have said it’s 25-30 years too late.
That sort of thing doesn’t exist now in that way.

It was pretty much the reason I went to Thailand, chasing that amalgaeration of adventures with a touch of Thai lack of safety

How is this different from the real ending of The Beach (2000)?

ChatGPT summary:

This YouTube link shows an alternate ending to The Beach (2000), which differs significantly from the theatrical version.

Theatrical (Real) Ending:

Richard escapes the island and returns to normal life.

He gets an email from Françoise with a group photo.

Ends with a nostalgic smile and quiet reflection.

No legal fallout. Message = "Shit happened, I grew from it."

Alternate Ending (YouTube video):

Richard testifies in court against the beach community.

Sal is shown on trial, clearly betrayed.

He exposes the entire operation.

Much darker. Message = “Actions have consequences.”

Key Differences:

Theatrical Alternate
Richard Quietly reflects Turns them all in
Sal Fate unknown Legally implicated
Tone Bittersweet Harsh accountability
Message Loss of innocence Justice/moral judgment

Book Ending (Alex Garland’s Novel):

The novel’s ending is the darkest of all three versions.

The beach community collapses violently.

People are killed or go insane.

Richard loses his mind, hallucinates "Mr. Duck," and becomes feral.

He survives and returns to society, but he's deeply traumatized.

No redemption. Just damage. No court. No email.

He gets a photo from Françoise/Étienne years later. Not romantic—just a memory of hell.

TL;DR:

Movie = reflective

Alt ending = courtroom drama

Book = full mental breakdown, bodies pile up, no one gets out clean

Let me know if you want a webm of the courtroom scene cropped

It's actually poignantly pointing out the difference between the happy go lucky movie ending, the book and the alternate ending.
